Construction of Singapore Changi Airport’s Jewel is 75% complete

The ‘Jewel’ complex being constructed at the Changi Airport in Singapore is 75% complete, and on schedule to be open in 2019.

The Jewel façade is being constructed using more than 9,000 pieces of glass – each one specially manufactured.

The façade will also feature more than 18,000 pieces of steel beams and over 6,000 steel nodes.
